The Return of Eugenia Cooney 

This video means so much to me. Thank you Eugenia for letting us in. I love you so much. :')

Anybody else jaw drop when the little girl called her gorgeous and then said she would be prettier if she wasn't dying???.... That honestly had me shook.

1:22 "What makes you happy?" Eugenia: "Well coming on here and talking to you guys makes me happy" 💔😭

I truly believe her getting back on camera was a recipe for relapse.

She looked so healthy and happy. It seriously breaks my heart watching this again knowing the state that she is in now.

“I think you would be a little prettier if you weren’t dying,” how in the living hell does one respond to that

She looks like she’s hurt and damaged but keeping it all inside. Her eyes look sad although she’s smiling

I’m revisiting this in 2023 and I’m so sad to see Eugenia is the worst she has ever been. She looked so healthy and beautiful during her recovery. The color returned to her cheeks and she was glowing. I fear she hasn’t much time left in this world if she doesn’t turn herself around soon.

She looked like she was actually getting better, she seemed more herself, alive, energetic and beautiful. This is just devastating

Ryland “ oh your drinking a flavored coke something must be wrong “. Relationship goals . Know the signs 😂😂😂

Shane: and I oop- Eugenia: Wow! You're so good at it! She's a literal sweet heart

This is heartbreaking. Her hair is so thick. She is so happy and full of hope. It won’t be long before her fragile heart will finally have enough. I hope she is making the best of the last days and gets off the internet and just spends time with her family and dog.

I still can’t believe Shane Dawson got away with exploiting her recovery as if her eating disorder hasn’t been exploited for years. I wonder how different Eugenia’s life could have been now had this never been filmed and shared with the internet.

RU-vid is getting bold with these double ads..

i just can't imagine people saying her to die or kill herself, that shit is really disturbing :(

she was so obviously still in denial here. i’m not surprised she relapsed. but i hope she recovers again stronger.

Notice how her vocabulary in this video is, so much better than it is now and she’s holding tangible, coherent conversation. Her voice isn’t as squeaky, and she genuinely seems so happy

_off topic, but bruh... _*_uber drivers_*_ hear the most _*_tea_*

“ too much or not enough food, it’s all the same; just a way to cope ” wow okay I never really thought of it that way

Years later here we are.... So strange how all of us have invested our energy and attention to this story for so long... but it really breaks my heart to see her decline, especially after this video was made. I and I know so many others wanted to see her recover so badly. I know many say its too late, I'm still praying for a miracle.

Regardless of Shane being the wrong person for this - I can’t believe how lucid and aware she was in this video. It breaks my heart, she speaks her age, she speaks truths but it was all for nothing and just her saying what we wanted to hear. She reminds me of Rue from Euphoria, she knew exactly what she was going to start doing again when she got out of rehab. It’s so devastating. 😢

Ryland "You're drinking a flavored diet coke something Must be wrong."

Shane: “always believe in unicorns” Eugenia: yea, at least they’re nice Me: ..aw 😞

she looked like she was on the road to recovery and now seeing that she’s worse then she’s ever been makes me so sad for her

Have you reached out to her ever since? She's gotten way worse. She shouldn't have returned. She should have focused on recovery. Didn't you care for her? Didn't you consider her a friend? Shane... You came out to the other side better. Please don't forget about her. I hope you're still being a friend to her in private.

“You’re drinking a flavored Diet Coke something must be wrong.” Ryland knows Shane too well 😂😂😂

it's crazy and messed up that people were actually telling her to kill herself. those people would probably lose their shit if someone said that to them.

She’s even skinnier now it’s unsettling I try to not watch anything related to her 😥

I am seriously in tears watching this now. She really is a sweet soul and it hurts to see her smile and joke and have a quick whit while looking beautiful, knowing she has taken a turn for the worse. This poor girl has been so ostracized by the world, did we think that was going to help?

It breaks my heart when people were telling her to kill herself.. You can tell she was hurt when they said it.

Shane: *opens flavored coke* Ryland: Oh no something must be wrong

It's so depressing. She really is a super genuinely nice person the few times I've interacted with her. Of course she's naturally beautiful, when she's doing well, she looks like half the girls I went out with in the 2000's. When I was 16 - 17 when we were all doing the scene thing, when Myspace was important, my ex girlfriend developed an eating disorder 6 months into the relationship, or maybe it just became worse around then. I lived with her, her mom and her younger sister who walked a line between enabling and bullying her. It was torture watching someone kill themselves, while the people who were supposed to be helping were doing the opposite. We broke up, I moved back home, she's better now and we're still friends but man, I'll never forget that helpless feeling. It's so hard, like drug addiction and alcoholism are so incredibly difficult, but when you're illness is focused around not ingesting something or avoiding something like food, it's unimaginable. Then the way your body adapts so quickly to not eating, it doesn't take long before you no longer feel hunger or even remember what hunger feels like. It turns into reminding yourself that you haven't eaten in a while or realize you have no energy and are dizzy.

2024 here, revisiting. this disgusts me to my core. shame on you, shane.

“Oh you’re drinking a flavored Diet Coke, something must be wrong.” 😭

The usernames at the beiginning already wanted to make me cry

She looks incredible in this video. It’s a tragedy that things have gotten worse

This is the most beautiful I've seen Eugenia. Mentally, physically and emotionally. She genuinely seemed happy, healthy and her true self. I hoped she would continue with treatment and healing as I think she has so much to offer and teach the world about being kind to eachother. I pray she can find a place of healing before it's too late.

*"Oh you're drinking a flavored diet Coke, something must be wrong"*

I love how andrew is actually a squad member instead of the camera man

There were so many moments she started open up, but too bad they mostly ended up with jokes

its so sad to watch this now in 2023 seeing how bad of a place she is in rn :(

"the light was doing something weird with her hair" "oh.. sorry!' "nO- OMG-"

50:23 “People treat you like there’s nothing more to you than what you’re going through” damn I felt that

She has such a beautiful face. I couldn't stop looking at her eyes and freckles and symmetry. Such a beautiful soul and soft person. Such a pity she is suffering like this. I know this video is old and her obsession still continues. I hope she is able to make a full recovery and tell her story eventually with no shame.

It's kinda sad that Shane was completely unprepared to deal with something like this and all his acolytes egged him on and hyped him up when he himself questioned whether it was his place to do it or not. It definitely wasn't.

Am i the only one that didn't see this coming at all ? Not mad tho

"You're drinking a flavored diet coke, something must be wrong" 😂😂

Was angry when this came out, even more angry now.. People with bigger platforms who are her "friends" should be stepping tf up right now and all we hear is radio silence. We spam green hearts, beg or send positive messages her way and unfortunately its not cutting it anymore. Where are you now that she needs you? Shane Dawson and the stars going live on tiktok should be ashamed of themselves, you were all for profitting off of her "recovery" but nowhere when she needs you all the most. Never cared to begin with, showed then and shows even more now.

I’m currently dying from anorexia. My heart gave out and I had to have open heart surgery. I’ve suffered for many many years. I will die if I don’t get help. I would love to go to Remuda ranch as I have horses. I would love to go to any place with her. To motivate others to stop killing themselves……that’s my goal. And I would absolutely love if Eugenia would go to a partial program and maybe I could help her and others. I’ve lost so many years to anorexia. Much love from Kentucky Lesley and medical service dog Jake.

9:05 Shane keeping his medication in that Gucci box though

Shane explaining "And I oop-" was literally the *ONLY* way this video could've ended

She literally got the healthiest she’s been ever after Shane made this video. She didn’t downfall because of this video.

I watched most of the video, and I am displeased with how this was handled. Shane was intrusive and displayed signs of cold empathy. Rather than allowing Eugenia to guide the conversation, Shane would input these different ideas into the conversation for her to talk about. It wasn't an interview. It was Shane wanting to find out the gossip and drama to get views. That stood out to me in the first 10 minutes. The way Shane reacted beforehand was more of keeping himself in this spotlight...like when he encouraged flaws in Eugenia rather than any strengths. The entire interview was a focus on how Eugenia is flawed. That stood out to me the most. Shane talks about her smiling all the time and being so nice. To me, it seemed like he was projecting inauthenticity onto her. I took it as "I'm not a nice or kind person, so why are you?" I think Shane is very shallow and likes to surround himself with drama. I don't think he had any intention of "helping" her. I think it was a transaction. "I make a video exposing you, and this is profitable for me because I get more attention." I don't think Shane is a nice or kind person. I think he is very insecure. His first interaction with Eugenia was to talk about her appearance. It was staged and set up to pry into her life. I think he preyed on Eugenia, so when she felt vulnerable enough to talk about her own struggles he could then minimize by redirecting the conversation back to himself, or exploit her and focus more on the body aspect. It would have been different if he had talked less and let her guide the conversation. I think this was about Shane gaining something outside of a relationship or friendship, I think it was purely transactional.

“You’re drinking a flavored Diet Coke? Something must be wrong” hahhaah a husband always knows

32:44 Euginia doesn't even know how to unlock the door of her own home to get out. Let that sink in

I wish she could see how absolutely beautiful, happy, and healthy she looks in this video. You deserve to live a healthy and long life, Eugenia. Please try to get better. You don’t need to do this to yourself, please get help or allow somebody to help you. As of late 2023, this is not at all how you should be living.

This hits different when you know Kate the “therapist” knew for a long time about Eugenia

*59 minutes of eugenia’s recovery* *1 minute of shane explaining “and i oop-“ to eugenia*

“oh your drinking a flavor diet coke, soemthing must be wrong” OKAY BUT LIKE I NEED SOMEONE TO KNOW ME LIKE THAT

Shane used to be my favorite youtuber, i practically grew up with him when I was younger. But this video solidified for me that he has turned into a nasty, money grubbing narcisst. He took one of the most vulnerable girls on youtube, puts her in front of 33 million people when shes FRESH out of rehab, asks her every single question the therapist told him not to ask, and then never talks about it again. This video was her downfall. Shes in the worst state we've ever seen her in and suddenly her 'best friend' shane is nowhere to be found. He took advantage of this poor girl's disorder and naive attitude for money. He still makes money off of this video, despite his 'best friend' literally withering away. It's heart wrenching to see how money obsessed people are, that they'd manipulate vulnerable people like this.

This video only revealed that Shane is more psychologically disturbed than Eugenia.

I just realize Shane posted a 1:00:16 video but its felt like 10 minutes

Nobody: Me: Jaw drops 10ft down when that girl said “you’d probably be a little prettier if you weren’t dying”.

My heart is so broken seeing her now. I just want to see her get better. I don't really follow her but I just don't want to see her be lost to an ED She looked so healthy and wonderful here, I hope to see her this way again

I know she is scared because she feels that if she gets healthy people aren't going to be interested in her anymore. OMG if she only knew the power she has over her fans! If she overcame this sickness her can base would be a million times bigger than it already is! If she documented her journey back to health and did something positive for once she would definitely come out on top! Help HER bro

“You’re drinking a flavored Diet Coke, something must be wrong “ 😂😂 relationship goals

how her face lit up when she talked about makeup was literally so precious

Shane Dawson took advantage of her then and Jeffrey Star is taking advantage of her now.

Looking back in 2023, we all know shane was not the one who should have done this, but so far hes the only one that has been in that house and had to be around that mother. He himself is shocked at everything that is going on, from the locks on the door to the attorney never leaving. At the very least he’s exposing the abuse that her mother is inflicting. He genuinely is scared for his friend after seeing the way she lives.

The twitch stream clips broke my heart, people are disgusting in this world honestly

telling people to kill themselves is so messed up, it doesn’t matter who you say it to, you shouldn’t say it in general

Thinking about it, her therapist should have been involved with this if they even approved

It breaks my heart to see her in recovery here and seeing her now, looking like she is living her final days. She is such a sweet person and she deserves so much. I feel like it’s just a matter of time now 😢

I love how he knows something's wrong if hes drinking flavored diet coke

Watching this again now is just heartbreaking. I've been there. Shes so strong for opening up to the world about what is happening with her. It's rough I send good vibes for her

*WELL SHANE , SHES LITERALLY ON DEATHS DOORS …., WILL U HELP HER NOW* ?

"You're drinking a flavored diet coke something is wrong"

I’m terrified that onision will come out of hiding to argue about this

Having been inpatient before myself. It’s so hard to hear her say like “I did what I had to do” and just kinda avoiding the depth of how bad it got just makes me see myself when I just did it to get everyone off my back and my parents. And I just was so in denial that it was so hard to see myself at a healthy weight happily. And I realized like I can’t actually get better until I really admit that I was sick and I was in a bad state and realize that I need to choose recovery 100% or I would eventually relapse one way or another. And I just hope she can see herself in a manner that she both needs and wants to get better. I know how hard it is and I hope it gets better for her..

i’ve been in her same shoes and for her to talk about something so vulnerable is so strong of her. i really hope she recovers. i’m tearing up watching this 😢

Eugenia "it's basically just a lot of eating" Shane: "ok ill go"

No one: Eugenia: Awwwwhhhhhhh Thank you She’s so sweet

I’m watching this in 2023 and I’m just completely heartbroken

i'm so sad that this was 4 years ago and to see how she is now... :(

Wow "disgusting bag of bones" people actually have no hearts

Shane, I think you need to look deeper. I feel the mother is acting really suspicious.

She was so full of energy and life here, it was so lovely to see 😔 She's so malnourished now that she can hardly walk or construct a sentence. I would love to see her this full of life and vibrancy again. ED'S are the devil 😔💔

My heart is breaking coming back here. IDK why I came to look back at this.

“Do you hate any youtube channels? Well, there’s a few...” You can say onision it’s okay

I just came back to this after watching a live of hers on tik tok and its so crazy because the girl in this video seems like a completely different person than the one i saw on tik tok

Horrible documentary, Shane’s vanity is clearly seen here, most of the context is focused on Shane, and him, and horrible interviewing skills. Shocked how many people follow Shane. Sad.

As someone who's been raised in an abusive home, the way she talks with a smile 24/7 is super recognizable. Edit: 4 years of therapy has taught me how to recognize masking & people pleasing behaviors. This girl is traumatized fr fr.

I’m sorry but I feel like her and garret could be best friends😂😂😂

My heart is broken watching this knowing how Ill she is today.

I had to come back and delete my old comments. So disappointed in her. I truly can't even feel bad for her anymore. Rest in peace.

Ryland: *walks in* “Oh you’re drinking a flavored Diet Coke something must be wrong”

My heart dropped for Eugenia when that girl said “You’d probably look better if you weren’t dying”

It's happening again but worse, where are these friends now.

She’ll never be the same again. :(

“You’re place is like a weird creepy dollhouse” “Oh thank you!”
